Hosting tiers
The x402 settlement fee applies equally across all tiers. Hosting tiers gate compute resources and features, not protocol access.
Fee structure
Cost estimation
For a typical agent priced at $0.01 per request:LLM inference costs are separate. Creators pay their own LLM provider directly (BYOK model). A shared LLM pool with markup is planned for a future version.
Revenue streams
x84 generates revenue through six channels:- Registration fees — 0.05 SOL per agent registration
- Settlement fees — 3% of every x402 payment (primary revenue driver)
- NFT royalties — 5% on secondary market agent NFT sales
- Hosting tiers — Token-gated premium features (Builder and Pro tiers)
- LLM pool — Shared inference with markup (planned v2)
- Marketplace premium — Featured listings and promotion (planned)
